meeting, one of our community policing strategies to our police community division is our community safety walks where we partner with community volunteers, members of the respective community and our community and also deleting these walls and really it's about community engagement, getting everybody engaged because as many callers stated, we do believe that's necessary. we are in tune to engaging in community policing and getting members of the public involved in reducing crime, preventing crime, increasing awareness, and increasing resilience which is a big part of our community policing is set out to do. in an ideal situation, we want to address this without our jail population exploding, which is also one of our strategies that you will hear about tonight. in terms of other incidents that are happening, we had a

fatal traffic collision at mission and geneva on march 2nd. it was a vehicle versus pedestrian involving an elderly female in her 80s. she sustained head trauma and succumbed to her injuries. and, in that case, unfortunately, we believe that this was a collision not criminal in nature. armed robberies. i mentioned that there has been a decrease in armed robberies. we've increased our visibility and deployment up in twin peaks. we had a local news station camera crew who were robbed of the camera equipment on march the 3rd. we actually were able to recover the camera equipment along with encountering the person in possession of it. that person was not arrested for that crime as we did not have enough evidence to tie that person to the actual

robbery. so that investigation is ongoing and we hope to resolve that one as well. but at least we were able to recover the camera equipment and return it to the local news station in a very timely fashion. so that's a piece of good news. major events. as this was mentioned, we will be involved in the meeting with the wealth and disparities folks in mendel plaza this friday and our captains and others and command staff members will be there and are looking forward to that engagement. we have also working with supervisor and board of supervisor president simone walton on his supervisor safety plan which we are really happy with. what you will hear tonight in many ways aligns very nicely with supervisor walton's safety plan. we definitely look forward to working with him and all the

resources that he is bringing there to address the many issues that were discussed tonight that impact crimes, who causes the crime, and public safety in the bay view community. also, just a report that our community liaison officers, i talked a little bit about that earlier. this is a detail we fit up in october of last year. part of what they do is community engagement and, really, one of the things as a matter of strategy and just doing the right way by way of community policing is better engagement with our victims. when people are involved in crime, particularly violent crime and there's a traumatic effect there, what we want to do is increase the service level, the engagement level and the community engagement. our officers are going just that. reaching out to families. connecting them with the right support and assistance. it's gotten off to a really good start and year to date, they've been involved in 34 set

cases including traffic related accidents that have resulted in deaths, robberies, hate crimes, home invasion robberies and they're reaching out to those families as traumatic as those events are, we do believe these officers can make that experience a little more palatable if you will and at least offer support and connect the individuals and families of all the needs to better services or services. also, our outreach to the pacific islander community which has been ongoing but we're engaged in educational awareness outreach campaign. every district cap pain with a pi community and partner with our community liaison officers to provide education to provide information in cantanese and mandarin and darrell phan is

leading that effort. we've done them in several of our district stations today. those will continue and this is about community policing and increasing our engagement in the community and with the community. last thing that i'll report with this or two last things, there's two other things. our stunt driving response unit has been effective. we've had three incidents over the weekend. one involved 30 to 40 vehicles at evans and middle point in the bay view district that occurred at 1:00 in the morning. we had a second incident and third incident that occurred in the terravale district. our community assemble responded and were able to break up these events also known as sideshows very quickly. the crowd disbursed. also, the second is subsequent incident, same result. so we have two lieutenants that we have put assigned to these

-- this unit full-time and it's really staffed with officers from the district stations who have been trained to deal with these issues more effectively and i'm happy to report at this point that it had been successful at this point. we hope that continues to work. that being said. just a covid update. the commission has been very interested and involved in ensuring that our officers are being vaccinated to protect them from the coronavirus. i do have some data to report and we're still collecting data. but in terms of our officers who have been vaccinated by our san francisco department of public health, we have over 150 members who have reported that they have been vaccinated. we have many more officers who have been vaccinated in their own cities and towns by private health care. we're trying to get more information there to report to the commission, but so far, everything that i've been

hearing is that our officers are being vaccinated. so, again, i want to thank the commission for the push and the support on helping make that happen. and i'll end my chief's report there. is there any questions? >> president cohen: colleagues, do you have any questions? >> i have a question, but i'm not sure if it's here or if i should wait for up coming reports. maybe i should just ask the chief. chief, i know there was an article in february. i mean, one of the issues -- well, the article said you were about um, in federal court, there was a third -- since june, there was a third case -- cases being thrown out in court for violation of search and seizure, san francisco police officers search and seizure. i think it was in the february mercury news and they did that. and, through the years, we've

heard other cases be selected prosecution or cases being in federal court and i've been made aware that there's allegations now that officers maybe i don't know if it's true or not that may be detaining individuals and bringing them in for civil lawsuits and obtaining declarations at which they have permissions with those two so i'm just wondering if you can look into that and get back to us like what is going on? >> you're muted, chief. >> thank you, commissioner dejesus we have no authority to bring anybody in against their will for lawsuits. so definitely that's something that is a serious issue if that allegation is out there. we'll look into it.

in terms of the federal court findings of officers having evidence thrown out of court, that definitely is cause for investigation as well. so those are under way as well commissioner dejesus commissioner dejesus that's commissioner dejesus: that's good because we're talking about civil lawsuits. >> i'll follow up. >> president cohen: chief, i have a question for you, it's malia. i'm wondering whether or not your department has received and those who have not received to see if they can intercede on their behalf to help them move them up on the process to get the vaccination. >> we do have the ability to survey and that's something

that's definitely on the immediate horizon to find out how many. of course their private medical information. but judging by our first survey when we put out the survey to gage the interest. so hopefully, we can get a better idea of who and if they have not been vaccinated and why and hopefully i can have that information for you hopefully by next week. >> president cohen: and then, i was thinking that you're going to be at the bay view at the rally on friday, as am i. perhaps one day you and i can pick a beat. it doesn't have to be bay view. and just get out there and walk on the foot patrol. >> yeah. definitely. that will be great. so i'll set that up. i'll reach out and set that up. >> president cohen: all right.

colleagues. commissioner yeehas a question. >> chief scott, this is larry. when you do have outreach into the community, just send me a notice and see if i can join with you or with an officer that is doing the outreach. and i agree with malia that officers try to get the vaccinations because if they're out in the public, we want them to be safe as well as everybody else. >> thank you, commissioner yee. and, welcome. and i will definitely do that. commander fong is the point of contact so we will definitely get you invited to our next meeting and welcome to have you at those meetings. thank you. >> president cohen: all right.

i am looking at the chat. any other questions? all right. chief. i appreciate your presentation. >> madam president. commissioner hamasaki. >> commissioner hamasaki: oh, chief, i was going to ask when we were talking about your focus on community policing, did you -- i can't remember if there was a report released kind of documenting and detailing what this looks like because community policings where everybody referred to a lot of different things whether it's [inaudible] or just presence in the community. is there a master document? i know we talked about a

strategic plan that the public can see? >> yeah. commissioner, thank you for bringing that up. that was one of the doj recommendations. the public can find it on our website. and, if you go to the search engine of the website, you can just type in community policing strategic plan and it will guide you through that strategic plan. also, really, it's pretty involved strategic plan, but it really covers the entire department in terms of what our goal strategies are and kind of what that is. you're right. community policing is very broad in their term. but that strategic plan gives some insight and guidance and how we intend to achieve it. >> commissioner hamasaki: and does that also cover how the officers are immoring to achieve those goals like in different neighborhoods where,

for example, like, right now, you know, the bay view, we're having a lot of issues there with violence, the tenderloin with violence and drugs. i think in the api community there's issues of violence. is there a reaction to those and assign officers? >> the strategic plan doesn't cover specific deployment. it's more of a it's not just a high level, but it's guidance on the really the fundamental things that we need to do in order to achieve that level of engagement that we want to achieve. community meetings. who the outreach should be to. what the minimum requirements are for each district's and captain. those type of things are in that strategic plan. in terms of deployment, part of

community policing and i'm going to use the term broadly here, it really boils down to creating opportunities for specific police department. but creating those opportunities for officers to engage and have positive interactions with members of the public. and, the thing that you probably have heard me say before and i'll say it to the commission. one of the things that plays into that is having staffing levels because of if officers are going from call to call. how they treat people, but often time those calls don't offer the opportunities to just have engagement like what we're talking about. just have a conversation with people about where the issue of the day is. we want to create more

opportunity for our officers to do that. that part of when you're working. you really get to engage with people and you get to talk to people. you get to stick your head in the local business and talk to the employees and the owners and the customers and it's a nonconfrontational situation where you can really have meaningful discussions. so that's a big component of community policing and it goes a long way in terms of procedural justice and other things and getting to know your neighbors and your neighborhood and those things that really contribute to healthy community policing. so that's apart of our goals and our strategies and, again, getting the bulk of the department opportunity to do that has to be on the forefront of our agenda. >> commissioner hamasaki: okay. and, i liked president. >> president cohen: 's suggestion. i just got my vaccination last week and maybe we could do some beats together with all the different commissioners and the

chiefs, get out in the city, start to -- commissioner elias used to hit some of the district stations back before covid. i'd like to get back out there and see the community. >> absolutely. i welcome that and it's a sign of we're getting back to normal. so whenever any commissioners are ready, definitely we're ready. i'm ready to do that. i'd look forward to that. >> commissioner hamasaki: thank you. >> thank you. >> president cohen: commissioner brookter, do you have something to say? >> yes, i do. i'm just really thinking about that has been while we shelter-in-place. so just in terms of public safety, what some strategies or things that we're thinking about city wide as a gun buy-back program and folks are

getting the vaccine shots. what's kind of our strategy or thought process or conversations about how we get these guns off the street? >> yeah. so gun violence is one saturday we work in conjunction with and his organization on that and that's been happening for a number of years. that's the one we're going to get a large number of guns off. so that's great. the enforcement team says it's apart of that process. it cannot be our sole focus or sole solution. and we understand that. [please stand by]

these are the guns ending up in the hands of some teenagers. we've arrested some people from manufacturing but the public

awareness about that, you know and ease of getting access to guns is something that a part of our strategy that we want to work with c.v.o.s and groups and public-health professionals to address. some of it is the police department thing but a big part of it we have to reach out to partners and partner with these other entities that i mentioned to really address this from a holistic approach. gun violence is -- i don't have to tell you. we know what gun violence has caused, particularly in some of our communities where disparities and they're underserved. >> thank you for that, chief. >> thank you. >> we're going to do a slight departure from what we have on the agenda. we're going to have come back to d.p.a.s report and the (inaudible) report. i want to go ahead and jump into
